Ethereum and NFTs: Powering Sugartown
Ethereum's revolutionary NFTs (non-fungible tokens) serve as both a passport to Sugartown and a key to its plethora of free-to-play minigames. With the limited release of 10,000 Ora NFTs, players gain exclusive access to this enchanting universe.
Staking and Earning in Sugartown
Zynga adds depth to the gaming experience by allowing players to stake their Ora NFTs. In doing so, they accumulate Sugar, the game's native currency, enhancing their journey within Sugartown.
